In step 5 you need to add some return characters because you have a line that should be a comment on the same line that shouldnt be one. Should look as foolow:

# mod_jk config
# Where to find workers.properties
JkWorkersFile /etc/apache2/workers.properties

# Where to put jk logs
JkLogFile /var/log/apache2/jk.log
JkShmFile /var/log/apache2/jk-runtime-status

# Set the jk log level [debug/error/info]
JkLogLevel info

# Select the log format
JkLogStampFormat “[%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y] ”

#JkOptions indicate to send SSL KEY SIZE,
JkOptions +ForwardKeySize +ForwardURICompat -ForwardDirectories

# JkRequestLogFormat set the request format
JkRequestLogFormat “%w %V %T”

Tricky:

Well spotted! I proof-read this several times before posting, and still didn’t spot it!

Thanks for reading. :)

Thank you!!! Please have my wife…

One thing that caught me for a few moments was the lack of carriage return in the workers.properties file…

need a carraige return after ‘worker.list=default’ so the next line is then ‘worker.default.port=8009′ matching the others syntactically…

Good guide. A few things:
1) The two sample config files for jk.conf and workers.properties both are missing some newlines as displayed in the HTML.
2) You fail to mention that you need to create the jk.conf AND symlink it into the mods-enabled directory.
3) I get some minor errors as follows:
tomcat:/etc/apache2# /etc/init.d/apache2 reload
Syntax error on line 9 of /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/jk.conf:
JkLogStampFormat takes one argument, The Tomcat module log format, follow strftime synthax
failed!
I commented that out and got:
tomcat:/etc/apache2# /etc/init.d/apache2 reload
Syntax error on line 13 of /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/jk.conf:
JkRequestLogFormat takes one argument, The mod_jk module request log format string
failed!
After commenting out that line as well, Apache started fine.

Thanks Beltran, you were right. I’ve corrected the post.

Thanks for reading :)

I think there is a typo:

Shell:
chown g+w server.xml

should be:
Shell:
cd conf; chmod g+w server.xml

(thanks to you and the author(s?) for sharing!)
